HOUSE OF AAMA

House of Aama is a fashion storytelling brand founded by a mother-daughter design duo, Rebecca Henry and Akua Shabaka. Each collection comes along with a great story behind it. The Black-owned brand pays much attention to conveying messages through powerful storytelling with a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality.
